Wow!! Great conferences with both of my kid's teachers! Something that struck me quite interesting was this: My son's teacher said, "Patrick is doing great!" I responded, "Well,that's good, but as far as behavior, he's almost always moving his name to the 'red' because he doesn't listen or takes too long to do his homework or wanders around when it's time to sit and work." I was so happy when his teacher started off by saying, "He is a normal, five year old boy. He is supposed to act this way..." WOW!!! Thank you, Lord!!! I wish there were many more teachers like her who have the patience and understanding of children behavior because so many put their "red alert ADHD hats" on.
The majority of ADHD patients are young boys. If you have a chance, read "Boys Adrift" and "Gender Matters" by Leonard Sax,M.D.,Ph.D.He explains how "the world has created an environment that is literally toxic to boys" Thus, leading into the often misdiagnosis of ADHD and over prescription of medications.
